Hey guys and gals, I'm in a bit of a bind and looking for some help. I have the following items to go in my car:

- H&R Touring cup kit struts/shocks/springs
- front control arms
- lower rear control arms
- 3.15 differential
- Urethane bushings (RTAB, FCAB, sway bars only)
- all new hardware, bump stops, upper strut mounts, rear shock mounts, spring pads

I have access to a shop and lift for the 24-25 of May, all day/night with just about every tool imaginable.

I need some help. I'm not entirely sure how to do all this, even with my Bentley manual. My mechanic friend will be in the shop, but if he's busy he can't help much. In other words, I literally have two days to do this in.

I had saved $400 in case I needed front camber plates, but I'm willing to pay somebody (or somebodies) this to help me out if you know what you're doing. I will supply food/drinks too. If you're available and can help me out please post, PM, or call me (977-8517) as soon as you can. Thanks everybody!

Rear lower control arms:

You are going to want to support the diff with a jack and unbolt it. Once you unbolt it, you can raise it slowly to the height required to remove the driver side inner bolt. Otherwise, I'm not even sure how you can remove the control arm...

When you're putting the new one in, make sure to load the suspension so that you aren't preloading the bushing when you tighten the bolts.

Should take you 1.5 hours...even if you didn't know what a bolt was. I'm writing this quickly, so if you have any questions, let me know...

Thanks :) That'll probably come in handy. I have a tranny jack so I'll use it to load up the wheel.
